The difference between tariff re-
formers and internal revenue abol-
ishers has been rather pointedly
pat as being one between those who
favor a free, untaxed sideboard and
those who favor free, untaxed
wardrobe. Those who oppose re-
duction of the tariff are for free liq,
uor, and those who propose to con
tinue the tax on whiskey are fol
giving the people free, untaxet
clothing instead. That's about TIT
size of it.

Last Thursday evening witnessed the
marriage ceremony at the Centenary NJ. +.
Church OF our clever post Office assistant,
Mr.. j. r. Walker, and Miss Matte J
White, both of this city. 1t was one of the
most brilliant and elaborate occasions ever
witnessed in the Twin-City, and was pro-
nounced a most pleasant success by all. The
altar of the:church was beautifully decorated
for the occasion, and promptly as the APP
pointed hour of half past arrived the train
OF attendant made their appearance at the
door, and the organ pealed forth a grand
bridal march. The ushers, numbering six,
Messrs. Efrd, Barham, Taylor, Pegram,
Hodgin and Ritch, first filed up the aisle
and took their positions. The attendants, of
whom thEe were eight couples, advanced in
the following order: Mrs. Carrie Pegram

and Mr.. T. w. Grimes, Miss Alice Eldridge
and Mr.. VIII Franklin, Miss Carrie Riggs

THE MATCH GAME SATURDAY.
How the ''Wachovias' Got Left--NoS Out
played but Outumpired.

How the 'sWachovias" Got Left-Nots out
played but Outumpired.
4 burlesque game of base ball was played
here Saturday evening between the "Wacho-
vias,", Of this city, and the Live Oaks" of
Oak Ridge 1t did not take long for both
spectators and players to lose all interest in
the game: for it was soon seen that it was
onesIded affair. The game was not by any
means fair one, as the "Live Oaks" had
more men than their opponents. In addi-
ton to the REGULAR nine they had an umpire
on their side, and the history of base ball has
never yielded an instance where an ordin-
arily fair team and umpire got beat 1t was
said that this was his debut as umpire. and
it was evident to all spectators that he was
either fresh hand at the business or else
had had his orders before the curtain rose
The game started out beautifully, and all
predicted close game. At the close of the
second inning the game stood to l, which
was getting rather too close for the 'Liye
Oaks" and pretty soon the umpire came to
the rescue. It did not take long to hack
the "Wachovias" and when by chance
one ball, our boys lost heart and il was plain
to see they were not trying from that time
on, but allowed their opponents to make
runs to sheir hearts content throughout the
game. The score showed 10 to in favor of
the "Lixe Oaks" 1t is due the Oak Ridge
Club to say that it is an excellent team, but
there is TO douba bat that our club is July
its equal and would stand as good chance
as they under fair circumstances.
After the match game an opposition team
took, possession of the field, composed of
Mayor Buford, Messrs.C. B. Watson, Charles
Williamson, Nath Stockton, S. E. Allen,
Robt. Glenn, Sheriff Boyer, and others,
making two full mines, and played a game,
which, though probably not exhibiting the
same degree of skill as the first game, was
decidedly more of show to the amused
spectators. This team should be perman-
emily organized,

Monaay evening had been appointed as
the time of trial before Justice Grogan OF
Messrs w. A. Whitaker and w. S. Hay,

between them some weeks ago, in which
Mr.. HAY used some abusive language to Mr..

nesses and all the parties to the case except

to proceed as soon as he should arrive. Be-
fore any one was aware of his approach Hay
was seen to enter the door, and on seeing
Mr.. Whitaker sitting at the table with his
legs crossed, he instantly drew 3S caliber
self-acting revolver and fired two shots at

the ball however passing dangerously near
Mr. Buxton's head. 1t was the opinion OF
those present that if Mr. Whitaker had not
been sitting in the position in which he
was that the bullet would have entered the
stomach and with more serious consequences.
DIR. r. +. Gray was called in and pronounced
the wound not dangerous, but feared that 9
stiff joint might be the result, and that the
extraction of the ball would be very painful
if it were at all. At last accounts Mr.. Whit
ller was reported suffering a good dea
